[SOLVED] broken font or another objects size after replacing graphics

Hello,

Kernel: 5.4.19-1-lts
xorg.conf driver used: nvidia

I've purchased a new graphics (GTX 1650 KalmX) card today:

lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650]
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

inxi:
Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650] driver: nvidia v: 440.59 
           Display: server: X.Org 1.20.7 driver: nvidia resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 440.59 

replacing older (GTX 750 Silent):

Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] driver: nvidia v: 440.59 
           Display: server: X.Org 1.20.7 driver: nvidia resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 750/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 440.59

However, after starting X Server (using OpenBox, Tint2, ...) in my usual FullHD, I'm getting extremely large top window title, like this:

In some apps (gimp, pcmanfm, palemoon), everything is enlarged:

When I put the older graphics card back again, everything is back to normal, expected size for an instance:

I have absolutely no idea what to look for at this problem.
Could you please advise?
Thank you!

EDIT:
Problem fixed in xorg.conf with precise specification of DisplaySize for Monitor and Option "DPI" for Screen.

Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
